    Washingtonians Come Together! Washington Peeps

    I hope everyone's power is back on. I live in Vancouver, WA. My power went out around 11:25 PM and didn't kick back on until almost 4:00 AM. I have two full incubators, eggs I just set for the hatch-a-long, so now I am very worried about them... I had a couple final projects due by midnight...

    That's an excellent plan! I want to look into some medicinal plants. My mother grew up around Hoquiam, by the way. My family and I spent some time up there on our way back from charter fishing last fall.

    THANK YOU sooo so so much for the head's up! It turns out that you're absolutely right: they're poisonous when raw! So, I will NOT be planting those. But I WILL be planting everything else. And thanks for the links! I might just have to place a couple orders today. Now, to just get myself...

    I went ahead and picked beans, for the most part. I am planting ONE grape plant on the property near the coop, because having some fresh grapes sound absolutely fabulous. I picked a bean variety called "scarlet runner". Are those good? They look good, with little red blooms... I want to plant...

    That's a great idea! How long until I would have nice, long grape vines all over my run if I were to plant them this weekend? I don't know anything about grapes!

    Quick question, BYC buddies: I'm looking for some vining plants to plant around my run. Ideally, I'd love the vines to completely take over the run. They would have to be safe for chickens to ingest, should they try to eat them. Pretty flowers are a plus, but not necessary. What kind of...

    Interesting, things must have changed. I grew up in Rochester, WA. On Loganberry Street, right off I-5 Grand Mound exit. I lived there for about twelve years. Moved out in 2010. My family had about 20+ chickens growing up, and lots of roosters were in that mix. We had neighbors as well, never...

    Quick question, BYC buddies! I already have chickens in my suburban backyard, but I've thought about adding a small coop of quail for meat and eggs. Just enough quail to have a good supply of meat and eggs. Is this idea worth exploring? How many should I start with? I've heard...

    Thanks for the link! That is the same conclusion that I came to after some research, so I'm really hoping that I get to keep him. He's starting to practice his crow, about twice a day. I've also been looking at the No-Crow Rooster Collar but have heard some scary stories about it. =/

    I was under the impression that I could keep him since I am outside of city limits...it becomes Clark County. I had a conversation with a woman who was selling chicks awhile back in a nearby neighborhood (two minutes west of me). She kept two roosters, has had them for years. So I guess I...

    QUESTION: I live in Vancouver, WA. I am OUTSIDE of city limits, just north of the Hazel Dell area. I have six hens and one rooster in my backyard. I live in a pretty tight suburban neighborhood. (For those familiar with the area, I'm off of I-5 exit 5). A neighbor informed me today that I...

    Luckily, it's been pretty dry where I'm at, but I keep hearing all about the flooding. I had a friend nearly get into an accident on her way to work today...so I hope you all are staying safe...and dry!

    Hello, Washington! I hope this is appropriate to post this here...and I sincerely apologize if it's not. =/ I would like to offer some free chicks, and heavily discounted chicks, to BYC members in my area. They hatched over this past weekend and are leftover from wait-list: - (8) Pure Breed...

    I HAVE FOUND FERTILIZED CHICKEN EGGS FROM THE GROCERY STORE! Here's the catch: Whole Foods is willing to send their Vancouver, WA store fertilized chicken eggs...but I have to commit to FIFTEEN DOZEN (at 10 percent off)! Holy cow! I was only going to keep four or five dozen for myself as an...

    I am in Vancouver, WA and am ALSO looking for fertile hatching eggs from the grocery store...more as a fun experiment. I'm really curious as to whether or not I could hatch them. I have checked the following stores: Trader Joe's Vancouver, WA: Did not carry them Whole Foods Vancouver, WA: Did...
